(ARA) - How many picture-perfect autumn days
have you spent washing and waxing your car or truck in anticipation
of harsh winter weather. As you were rubbing the last bit of wax off
the car, did the thought “there has to be a better way” cross your mind?
But you do it anyway, to protect your vehicle’s paint from the effects
of the sun’s UV rays, industrial fallout, acid rain, snow and ice. Your
car is a big investment that you want to keep in good condition.
Despite your hard work, your vehicle may not
be getting as much protection from the elements as you hope. Car waxes
do not provide the long-term protection necessary to keep your paint
looking like new. Most car waxes are made from inexpensive carnuba waxes,
which melt when they get hot. Once the wax gets hot, it becomes sticky
and starts attracting and holding dirt and pollutants.
“People can actually be doing more harm than
good,” says Glenn Canady, president of 5 Star Technologies, Inc. His
Nevada-based company sells a patented two-step polish called 5 Star
Shine that uses PTFE (the same substance that makes non-stick cookware
so slippery) and durable acrylic elements to create a chemical fusion
that seals paint from the elements. The product is guaranteed to last
five years on a new car and three years on a used car with good paint.
“This is not like ordinary car waxes and polishes that simply lay on
top of your paint and wear off in a few weeks,” says Canady. “It actually
bonds with the molecules of your paint for unbeatable shine and protection.”

5 Star Shine uses a process called electrophoresis
dynamics. First, the surface is cleaned with the polarizer before it
is sealed. This opens the pores in the paint and imparts a positive
charge, which attracts an anionic PTFE solution that is magnetically
pulled into the pores of the paint. The open pores of a painted surface
are filled with a plasticizer, which forms a barrier to prevent the
penetration of any other elements. The formula plates, bonds and cross-links
the PTFE molecules, producing a depth of shine, durability and protection
from corrosion.
In layman’s terms, it works like this: First,
wash your vehicle normally to remove all dirt. Wash again using 5 Star
Shine Polarizing Wash solution. Make sure paint surfaces are dry. Apply
5 Star Shine Paint Protection coat. Wipe off. You’re done. The entire
application process takes only about an hour.
In independent laboratory tests, the patented
formula was checked for durability; the tests concluded that 150 car
washes had no effect on the coating -- it was still protecting and beading
water while a brand name car wax that was also tested failed after only
25 car washes.
“5 Star Shine’s PTFE finish is one of the slipperiest
substances known to man,” says Canady. This slick coating repels dirt
and keeps your car much cleaner. When washing is needed, simply rinse
dirt away with a hose -- dirt, bugs, tree sap and more simply slide
off the painted surface. It is completely safe on all paints, clear
coats, and fiberglass gel coats. Your paint has that wet, “just waxed”
look year around.
In a testament to the product’s durability, the
U.S. Navy protects its on-ship Aegis radars with the product. These
massive vessels travel the sea and suffer the effects of salt water
and high winds on a regular basis. 5 Star Shine protects the ship’s
exposed radar equipment in the harshest marine environments. “If it
can withstand these conditions, just think what it will do for your
car,” says Canady.
One 5 Star Shine kit will protect 250 square
feet, which is more than enough for a car and even the largest SUV.
It can also be used to protect boats and planes.
